Leave it to Apple to completely avoid CES, yet be one of the largest stories surrounding its dates. Much like last year’s invite to what would eventually be the introduction of Verizon’s iPhone 4 , All Things D has it on good authority that the folks in Cupertino are spending their first hours back on the job planning a “media-related announcement” for later this month. Contrary to earlier beliefs, we’re told that this particular event won’t be related to the next-gen iPad , and it’s also “unlikely” to be connected to a “large-scale rethinking of its interactive television initiative.” So, knowing what it won’t entail..

Plants , like pets, need to be constantly cared for, but not everyone’s blessed with the requisite green thumb.

The HTC 4G LTE will finally land in Sprint customers’ hands this week.
Pentax didn’t wait long after a rather conspicuous leak to make the details official: welcome the K-30, the company’s spiritual successor to the long-serving K-r . The camera makes its biggest numerical jump in sensor size, from 12.4 megapixels to 16, but you’re primarily shelling out for a much tougher body that’s both resistant to rain as well as to dust and temperature extremes; one of the cheapest cameras to do so, if you go by Pentax’s word. We’re slightly down on the light sensitivity being unchanged from three years ago at ISO 100 to 25,600, though you can now shoot video at a much higher 1080p at 30 frames per second — and that French catalog was wrong about a drop in burst speeds, which still top out at a healthy 6 fps.
